AND IN PARTS OF WYNAAD AND SOUTHERN MYSORE. 417 
(933.—Ardetta cinnamomea, Gm. The Chestnut 
Bittern. 
Two or three specimens of this were sent us some years ago 
from the Wynaad.—A. O. H.] 
937.—Nycticorax griseus, Lin. The Night Heron. 
Though I have never actually procured a specimen, I have 
on several occasions heard the Night Heron in the Wynaad. 
940.—Anastomus oscitans, Bodd. The Shell Ibis. 
I saw a small flock of about twenty of these birds at Bandi- 
pur in Mysore. 
942.—Inocotis papillosus, Tem. The Warty-headed 
Ibis. 
I found flocks of this Ibis frequenting the trees bordering 
the banks of the river at Manantoddy in the Wynaad during 
April 1881. It was the only time I saw the species during my 
trip. They were exceedingly noisy, and were no doubt pre- 
paring to breed. 
[950.—Sarcidiornis melanonotus, Penn. The Comb 
Duck. 
This occurs in S.-W. Mysore certainly, also I believe in the 
Wynaad.—A. O. H.] 
Eten sueenus coromandelianus, Gm. The Cotton 
eal. 
This certainly occurs in both the Wynaad and S. Mysore.— 
A. O. H.] 
[952.—Dendrocygna javanica, Horsf. The Whist- 
ling Teal. 
I have seen this both from the Wynaad and 8. W. Mysore, 
but never fulva, though this too may possibly occur.—A. O. H.] 
[954.—Casarca rutila, Pall. The Ruddy Shell 
Drake. 
Occurs, but is rare in both the south of Mysore and the 
north of Coimbatore about the bases of the Nilghiris——A. O. H.] 
[957.—Spatula clypeata, Zin. The Shoveller. 
A specimen was sent me from the Wynaad, where I presume 
it is rare.—A, O. H.]
